    Race Predictions

    Based on your 5km time of 37:48 we can use the equation T2 = T1 x (D2/D1)1.06 to predict your finish times for longer distances.

    • 5km – 37:48
    • 10km – 1:18:49
    • Half Marathon – 2:53:53
    • Marathon – 6:02:33

    This prediction formula will be more accurate for distances close to 5km, so the 10km prediction time of 1:18:49 will be more attainable and relevant than a full marathon of 6:02:33.

    The equation  T2 = T1 x (D2/D1)1.06 was published by Peter Riegel in 1977  where T1 is your 5km time and D1 is the 5km distance, and T2 and D2 are your predicted time and distance.

    How do you compare?

    The average time to run a 5km will vary depending on factors such as age, gender, experience, the course terrain, etc but RunRepeat.com have conducted extensive research to grade runner finish times.

    Running 5km in 37 minutes and 48 seconds would put you in the 80th Percentile for Men and the 60th Percentile for Women.

    • Top 80% of male runners
    • Top 60% of female runners

    Just remember that these don’t take into account non-runners, they’re averages from runners in races, and by putting on your shoes and heading out you are already well ahead of the majority of the population.

    These statistics are based on over 35,000,000 results collected in the last 20 years from over 28,000 races.

    “A 5km run is an exploration within. It’s where you uncover your strengths, push your limits, and witness your own growth.”
